 ‘‘By 1922 Gandhiji had transformed Indian nationalism, thereby
redeeming the promise he made in his BHU speech of February 1916. It
was no longer a movement of professionals and intellectuals; now,
hundreds of thousands of peasants, workers and artisans also
participated in it. Many of them venerated Gandhiji, referring to him as
their ‘Mahatma’. They appreciated the fact that he dressed like them,
lived like them and spoke their language, unlike other leaders he did not
stand apart from the common folk, but empathised and even identified
with them.’’
In light of the above passage, highlight any four values upheld by
Mahatma Gandhi.

‘‘Proper’’ Social Roles

Here is a story from the Adi Parvan of the Mahabharata :

Once Drona, a Brahmana who taught archery to the Kuru

princes, was approached by Ekalavya, a forest-dwelling
nishada (a hunting community). When Drona, who knew the
dharma, refused to have him as his pupil, Ekalavya returned
to the forest, prepared an image of Drona out of clay, and
treating it as his teacher, began to practise on his own. In due
course, he acquired great skill in archery. One day, the Kuru
princes went hunting and their dog, wandering in the woods,

61/1 7 P.T.O.
 came upon Ekalavya. When the dog smelt the dark nishada
wrapped in black deer skin, his body caked with dirt, it began
to bark. Annoyed, Ekalavya shot seven arrows into its mouth.
When the dog returned to the Pandavas, they were amazed at
this superb display of archery. They tracked down Ekalavya,
who introduced himself as a pupil of Drona.

Drona had once told his favourite student Arjuna, that he

would be unrivalled amongst his pupils. Arjuna now reminded
Drona about this. Drona approached Ekalavya, who
immediately acknowledged and honoured him as his teacher.
When Drona demanded his right thumb as his fee, Ekalavya
unhesitatingly cut it off and offered it. But thereafter, when
he shot with his remaining fingers, he was no longer as fast as
he had been before. Thus, Drona kept his word : no one was
better than Arjuna.

(14.1) Why did Drona refuse to have Ekalavya as his pupil ? 2

(14.2) How had Drona kept his word given to Arjuna ? 2

(14.3) Do you think Drona’s behaviour with Ekalavya was justified ? If

so, give reason. 3

Colin Mackenzie

Born in 1754, Colin Mackenzie became famous as an

engineer, surveyor and cartographer. In 1815 he was
appointed the first Surveyor General of India, a post he held
till his death in 1821. He embarked on collecting local
histories and surveying historic sites in order to better
understand India’s past and make governance of the colony
easier. He says that ‘‘it struggled long under the miseries of
bad management ... before the South came under the benign

61/1 9 P.T.O.
 influence of the British government.’’ By studying
Vijayanagara, Mackenzie believed that the East India
Company could gain ‘‘much useful information on many of
these institutions, laws and customs whose influence still
prevails among the various Tribes of Natives forming the
general mass of the population to this day.’’

(15.1) Who was Colin Mackenzie ? 2

(15.2) How did Mackenzie try to rediscover the Vijayanagara Empire ? 2

(15.3) How was the study of the Vijayanagara Empire useful to the
East India Company ? 3

‘‘Tomorrow we shall break the salt tax law’’

On 5 April, 1930, Mahatma Gandhi spoke at Dandi :

When I left Sabarmati with my companions for this

seaside hamlet of Dandi, I was not certain in my mind that we
would be allowed to reach this place. Even while I was at
Sabarmati there was a rumour that I might be arrested. I had
thought that the Government might perhaps let my party
come as far as Dandi, but not me certainly. If someone says
that this betrays imperfect faith on my part, I shall not deny
the charge. That I have reached here is in no small measure
due to the power of peace and non-violence : that power is
universally felt. The Government may, if it wishes,
congratulate itself on acting as it has done, for it could have
arrested every one of us. In saying that it did not have the
courage to arrest this army of peace, we praise it. It felt
ashamed to arrest such an army. He is a civilised man who
feels ashamed to do anything which his neighbours would
disapprove. The Government deserves to be congratulated on
not arresting us, even if it desisted only from fear of world
opinion.
Tomorrow we shall break the salt tax law. Whether the
Government will tolerate that is a different question. It may
not tolerate it, but it deserves congratulations on the patience
and forbearance it has displayed in regard to this party. ...
What if I and all the eminent leaders in Gujarat and in
the rest of the country are arrested ? This movement is based
on the faith that when a whole nation is roused and on the
march no leader is necessary.
